A bit over three weeks ago, we had Maggie (our Jersey cow) bred by artificial insemination.
The AI expert, Andrea, said to watch for signs of heat on Sept 29, which would be three weeks later, since that's the length of a cow's cycle.
Well, Monday the 29th came and went, and there were absolutely no signs Maggie was in heat. In contrast, Mignon, our yearling heifer, was in heat last week, and boy did we know it. Not least, Romeo was all over her (even though he's a steer).
But with Maggie ... pffff. Nothing. Therefore it looks like we can expect a happy event in mid to late June of next year.
